Overview
ObservePoint offers three primary solutions for those interested in measuring page performance:
Page Summary Report
Page Performance Details Custom Tag
Page Summary Report
The Page Summary Report is included in every audit. The official definition of load time is: the time (in seconds) from the moment of initiating a first network request on a page to the moment of receiving a response for last collected network request. This helps you get a pulse for how long a page is taking to load all of its resources. Because it was designed primarily for troubleshooting tagging issues, e.g. users move on before tags load, it is not as comprehensive as other page performance solutions.

Page Performance Details Custom Tag
ObservePoint's custom tags are Javascript snippets that you can add paste into an Audit action to expand the data we collect on each page.
The Page Performance Details custom tag offers a much more granular view of page load metrics.
Some of the metrics it collects include:
DNS timing
Domain connection timing information
Request and response timing information
DOM content load
Page load timing information
Redirection timing information (if there is a redirect)
